Happy New Year and welcome to the latest incarnation of The Daze. Please bear with me as I attempt to iron out any coding wrinkles which may appear over the next few days particularly with mobile phone browsers. In 2015 there will be a�minor lunar standstill season, occurring about 9.3 to 10 years after the major lunar standstill season. What occurs now is that the Full Moons nearest the solstices and the First and Last Quarter Moons nearest the equinoxes will reach a minimum declination of approximately 18�+/- (north/south). When this occurs the Full Moon at the winter solstice will be at its lowest in the sky over an approximately 19 year period, while the Full Moon at the summer solstice will be at its highest in the sky over the same period.�If you observed the full Moons nearest the June and December solstices duringa major lunar standstill season, you would notice that the height and depth between the two become extreme with an arc of 56 or so. When observing a series of minor lunar standstills you would notice that the height and depth between the two are not so great and less than most full Moons around the solstices with an arc of roughly 36 between the two.�The following is a diagram showing a major and minor lunar standstill of the Full Moon. It has not been drawn to scale, but is a diagram of the tropical regions of the Earth showing the terrestrial latitudes of where the Full Moon is overhead at the standstills in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, the Full Moon is south of the Tropic of Capricorn at the major lunar standsill, and north of this Tropic at the minor lunar standstill. www.skyscript.co.uk minor-lunar-standstill-minimizes-harvest-and-hunters-moons The Minor Lunar Standstill has a dampening effect on the oscillation of the Moon's motion in the skies of Earth. It occurs when the Lunar Node is transiting tropical Libra and moving backwards into Virgo, wheras the Major Lunar Standstill occurs when the lunar node transits Aries and retrogrades into Pisces. There is a minor change to the format of the data presented on this site in 2015. In the midpoint section of each day I have withdrawn any transiting midpoints which involve the Moon. I have come to realise that these move too quickly to fit into the six hourly time frame of this ephemeris . However I now include both oppositions and conjunctionof planetary midpoints which I feel are are more use in gauging the planetary flavour of the passing days. There is quite a difficult start astrologically speaking to 2015. Uranus, Pluto and the lunar node have been in Cardinal T-square since Dec 22nd 2014 and will remain so until mid February. The pattern is at its strongest 11th to 19th of January. The Full Moon next Monday morning (GMT) hooks into this 'trauma evoking' astrological pattern, amplifying it considerably. Mercury and Venus are 'close' in Capricorn for the first two weeks in January attempting to make merry despite bleak events. Mars is applying in opposition to jupiter which is squared by the waxing Moon during the first hours (GMT) of 2015 so a rather excessive start to New Year's day can be expected. The decelerating waxing Moon in Taurus squares Mars 00:52 The Moon squares Jupiter 02:05 The Moon trines Mercury 06:19 The Moon reaches waxing gibbous phase 09:08.

As expected the New Year witnessed serious accidents as the Moon squared Mars and Jupiter. A crush at New Year's Eve celebrations in Shanghai killed 36 people and injured some 47 others. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has offered to hold talks at the highest level with South Korea. President Kim was giving his new year message broadcast on state television. Every time there is an event or an announcement involving Kim, astrologers can test the validity of the Jan 8th 1983 chart. The current Mars Jupiter opposition in the skies squares the Uranus/Pluto midpoint in the 1983 chart which could suggests a significant change in the diplomatic stance of his regime. Former Florida governor Jeb Bush has reportedly scaled back his business commitments as he thinks seriously about a White House run. It seems America is desiring a Clinton/Bush election in 2016. Jeb's chart is here. Transiting Jupiter is hovering on Jeb's natal Pluto, opposed by Mars right now of course. Next Monday's Full Moon is slap bang on his natal Uranus. Expect the announcement. The last Full Moon sextiled Hilary Clinton's Mars Pluto conjunction. She's really going to go for it you know ! Hillary Clinton has transiting Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto all favorably active in her chart around the time of the USA election in 22 months time. The Sun now in the second decan of Capricorn is applying in square to Uranus and in conjunction with Pluto, peaking tomorrow. Both solar and lunar tensions are in crescendo.

Venus leaves Aquarius for Pisces on Jan 27th. The residence is coloured by the start of Venus's chase of Mars through both Aquarius and Pisces. She's got his scent and is on the hunt. These two planets are closely conjunct at zero Aries on Feb 22nd 2015. Venus in Aquarius is humane, 21st century, experimental and cerebral. We have modern love here.

Mercury enters Aquarius 01:09 today joining Venus and Mars in that sign. Mercury is in Aquarius for 66 days. He edges pretty close to Venus but turns retrograde instead of overtaking her. Mercury sextiles Saturn today, sextiles Uranus on Jan 14th and slows to a speed less than a degree per day on Jan 15th. He trines the lunar node on that day. Mercury turns retrograde on Jan 21st at 17 degrees Aquarius, trines the lunar node a 2nd time on 27th Jan and sextiles Uranus a 2nd time on Jan 28th. He is at Inferior Conjunction with the Sun on 30th Jan at 10 degrees Aquarius. He sextiles Saturn a 2nd time on Feb 5th. He then stations turning direct on Feb 11th at 1 degree Aquarius. He sextiles Saturn a 3rd time on Feb 19th, trines the lunar node a 3rd time on Feb 27th, and sextiles Uranus a 3rd time on March 1st opposing Jupiter that day. Mercury enters Pisces on March 13th. Although we can expect the usual 'changes of mind' associated with Mercury retrograde, there is a measure of scientific review, a detached viewpoint in all matters. The repeated sextiles to Saturn and Uranus open the mind to practical and new ideas. The climaxing Full Moon in Cancer squares Uranus 01:20 Moon opposition Pluto 02:35 Moon opposition Sun 04:54 Full Moon in Cancer opposite Pluto, square Uranus and the Lunar Node. http://realastrologers.com/ Saturn rises UK. Today's Full Moon is midway between the Total Lunar Eclipse on October 8th 2014 and the Total Lunar Eclipse on April 4th 2015. (That eclipse will be the 3rd in the sequence of 4 'Tetrad of Blood Moons' currently manifest). This Full Moon is in a very challenging configuration with Pluto, Uranus and the nodal axis in Cardinal Cross. This Full Moon will generate many events and experiences. This is not an easy start to the working week nor an easy start to the year. Mercury and Venus however are sextile Saturn which confers a measure of harnessing power on this rather blistering situation. At the moment of Full Moon Saturn is rising over the UK. This usually forebodes a serious event in the country over the next month. It is Sunrise at Cairo and at Ankara (where Pluto sets), and at Kinshasa (where the Moon is setting). Mercury and Venus straddle Tehran, and Addis Ababa. Neptune rises at Mumbai, and sets at Los Angeles, Seattle and Vancouver. Pluto is under New York, Pluto culminates Saigon, the Moon culminates at Port au Prince. Today is the birthday of Marilyn Manson, Diane Keaton, Bradley Cooper, January Jones, Deepika Paduhone, Tyler James, Walter Mondale and King Juan Carlos of Spain. All of these folk can expect a climatic year ahead. Today's Full Moon directly hit the natal Sun of the USA, square Mercury of the Syrian Independence chart, conjunct Pluto and square the Moon of ex-Pope Benedict, square Cuba's Venus, square Egypt's Moon, conjunct David Gilmour's Mars, opposes Russia's Neptune (1991 chart), and conjunct the Saturn of David and Victoria Beckham. The Moon is Void of course from the moment of fullness un till after 11am GMT tomorrow, so the intervening hours are essentially 'going nowhere'. A difficult and maybe dangerous time is immediately ahead. Moon square Node 05:18 Sun square Node 09:26 Mercury quintile Uranus 11:29 Mercury sextile Saturn 22:22 State of the sky:-The Sun is at 14 degrees Capricorn today. There are 76 days to the Vernal Equinox. The Sun and Pluto are in Capricorn. Mercury, Venus and Mars are in Aquarius. We are midway between eclipse seasons. Mercury is now a direct evening star in Aquarius. Mercury entered repeatable territory yesterday and appears to slow to a speed of less than a degree per day on Jan 15th. Mercury turns retrograde at 17 Aquarius on Jan 21st 2015. Venus entered Aquarius on Jan 3rd 2015. She is an evening star. After a long chase of Venus and Mars through Pisces during Feb 2015, these two planets are closely conjunct at zero Aries on Feb 22nd 2015. The infant Moon aligns to them both on the previous night. Mars is also in Aquarius. Mars enters Pisces on Jan 12th, and is conjunct Neptune in Pisces on Jan 20th. Venus overtakes Mars on Feb 22nd. Mars in Aquarius is truly a free spirit. Independence, striving for humanitarian issues, deviation from the norm and the urge to reform are bound up with this planetary placement, and will strongly colour this time. Jupiter is retrograding in Leo. Jupiter trines Uranus on March 3rd 2015 and June 22nd 2015. He squares Saturn on Aug 3rd 2915. Jupiter enters Virgo on August 11th 2015. Saturn is now in Sagittarius. He resides there until December 19, 2017. Saturn retrogrades back to Scorpio from June 14th, to September 17th, 2015, when he will finally leave Scorpio for good. Saturn was last in Sagittarius from November 1985 until November 1988. In Sagittarius Saturn tests the boundaries, brings changes in governments, in laws and in perspectives. As Saturn transits Sagittarius he will square Neptune three times Nov 26th 2015,June 18th 2016 Sept 10th 2016. This is deadly and delusional. Saturn trines Uranus Dec 25th 2016, May 19th 2017 and Nov 11th 2017, which is constructively inventive. Saturn is squared by Jupiter in Virgo during this period on Aug 3rd 2015, March 23rd 2016 and May 26th 2016. That's a pretty brittle vibration. Later on in the residence Jupiter sextiles Saturn in Sagittarius from Libra. The 6th member of 3 year long series of 7 first quarter square aspects between Uranus and Pluto occurred December 15th 2014. The 7th, the final blast is on March 17th 2015. We are still in the pain of this brute of an aspect but it will soon be history. After today there are 73 days to a Total Eclipse of the Sun at 29 degrees Pisces on March 20th 2015, and 88 days to a Total Eclipse of the Moon at 14 degrees Libra on April 4th 2015.

Prince Andrew. Buckingham Palace has "emphatically denied" Prince Andrew had sexual contact with a woman who claims she was forced to have sex with him under age. The Duke of York was named in US court papers relating to the handling of a case against financier Jeffrey Epstein. In the palace's second statement on the claims, it said those made about the duke were "without any foundation". The woman is named as Virginia Roberts. Birth data of British royals is top quality, ideal for astrological research. Prince Andrew has an opposition of the Sun and Pluto in his natal chart. He has led a life never too far from personal drama and public exposure. Transiting Saturn squares that opposition right now, invoking this scandal. Transiting Uranus is square his Sun/Moon midpoint this week electrifying his life, so to speak. Today's Full Moon is opposite his natal Saturn. Ahead of him transiting Pluto is conjunct natal Saturn starting late Feb 2015 and lasting for 2 years Because of this I get the feeling that this current allegation really could stick and have far reaching implications. There is something serious at work here. Both total eclipses this spring hit his chart. The Solar eclipse (March 20th) squares his Jupiter. The Lunar eclipse (April 4th) squares natal Saturn. Not an easy time for him. Next year transiting Uranus crosses Prince Andrew's Midheaven, it will be very interesting to observe what happens then. Pluto is on the Mars/Saturn midpoint today. This can be brutal. The Sun is biquintile Jupiter 00:43 The slowly waning 'hung over' Full Moon enters Leo 11:04 joining Jupiter in this sign. Absolutely no compromise from this point.

Rather 'low news days' these. Not a great deal being reported. No complaints really. We are very much in the 'after glow' of Monday's Full Moon. The astrological atmosphere is one of resignation to routine and just 'getting on with it'. In the background Saturn, inching through the first couple of degrees of Sagittarius is starting to make waves, squaring Neptune. This aspect won't actually climax for the first of three times until 26th Nov 2015 and it then lasts through to Sept 2016 but between now and March 2015 the aspect will start to bite. This square aspect is the start of the next chapter in world history after the difficult Uranus square Pluto chapter of the last 3 years. We are slowly moving into new territory. The nature of the landscape is currently brooding and shadowy but we maybe sense the distant rumblings of an impending storm of change. Associated new art forms will arise and collective moods will reorient. Stay tuned.

Gunmen have shot dead 12 people at the Paris office of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in an apparent militant Islamist attack. Four of the magazine's well-known cartoonists, including its editor, were among those killed, as well as two police officers. A major police operation is under way to find three gunmen who fled by car. Witnesses said they heard the gunmen shouting "We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad" and "God is Great" in Arabic ("Allahu Akbar"). The shooting took place 'at about 11:30 local time'. The French 1st Republic chart had transiting Mars square its MC yesterday. In early February transiting Saturn will directly hit the French natal Moon. The Total Solar Eclipse on March 20th is tightly opposing the French natal Sun. With 70 days to go to this next Solar Eclipse we can assume we are already under its influence. Such a brutal attack was on the cards astrologically at this time because transiting Mars/Saturn and Uranus/Node are currently conjunct Pluto. Sincere sympathy to all affected by this event.

Uranus, Pluto and Lunar Node are now in tight Cardinal T-square. This T-square has been building up over the last three weeks. Hard lessons have been learnt. Another astrological wave is now approaching. Mars has entered Neptune's domain and the two planets are conjunct in Pisces in five days time. A rich surge of unfathomable emotional sensation is about to arise from the depths of the collective subconscious. This wave will fashion and influence events and experiences over the next week.

The Earth, Mars and Saturn are in Heliocentric Grand Trine right now. The solar system has a triangular symmetry today. Cosmic evolution takes a little leap. Geocentrically Mars is almost conjunct Neptune in Pisces.This close conjunction peaks on Tuesday, the first day of Aquarius and the day of the New Moon. This symbolises a mounting wave of emotional energy washing over us all. Venus opposes Jupiter across Leo Aquarius tomorrow which urges and induces excess. Mercury is three days from his station. Lots of about turns ahead. Lots going on. I notice that the impending Mars Neptune conjunction hits Ed Milliband's Mars, Mitt Romney's Mars and Hillary Clinton's MC. Milliband has been in robust mood recently. The possibility that Romney, who's twice mounted unsuccessful bids for the presidency, might decide launch a third bid in 2016 has loomed large over the RNC meeting in San Diego.

However I have been unable to find an exact formation date. The Cameroon Horoscope (Jan 01 1960 00:01) currently has transiting Mars and Neptune opposition natal Pluto. The Solar Eclipse on March 20th is conjunct Cameroon south lunar node. Also Cameroon has a progressed New Moon next year at 7 degrees Pisces. Yesterday's event may prove in the long run to be very significant.

Mercury is now a direct evening star in Aquarius and in repeatable territory and appearing to move at a speed of less than a degree per day. Mercury turns retrograde on Wednesday at 17 degrees Aquarius. He trines the lunar node a 2nd time on 27th Jan and sextiles Uranus a 2nd time on Jan 28th.

The repeated sextiles to Saturn and Uranus open the mind to practical and new ideas. Venus entered Aquarius on Jan 3rd 2015 and she opposes Jupiter today. She is an evening star. After a long chase of Venus and Mars through Pisces during Feb 2015, these two planets are closely conjunct at zero Aries on Feb 22nd 2015. The infant Moon aligns to them both on the previous night.

Saturn is squared by Jupiter in Virgo during this period on Aug 3rd 2015, March 23rd 2016 and May 26th 2016. That's a pretty brittle vibration. Later on in the residence Jupiter sextiles Saturn in Sagittarius from Libra. The 6th member of 3 year long series of 7 first quarter square aspects between Uranus and Pluto occurred December 15th 2014. The 7th, the final blast is on March 17th 2015.

Today's New Moon is the third New Moon to follow the Partial Solar Eclipse on October 23rd 2014 at zero Scorpio and the penultmate New Moon before the Total Solar Eclipse on March 20th 2015 at 29 degrees Pisces. Today's New Moon is sextile Saturn so it is a learning experience. It is conjunct the Mercury/Pluto midpoint so this is good for investigative breakthroughs. Mars is conjunct Neptune in Pisces significantly colouring the lunation with a surge of emotional reaction. Mercrury and Venus are opposite Jupiter evoking indulgences. The New Moon sextiles the Moon Jupiter conjunction in the chart of Hilary Clinton, it conjuncts the Moon of the Nation Rifle Asscociation of America, conjuncts the natal Venus of Nick Clegg, opposes David Cameron's Jupiter and squares the natal Sun of Queen Elizabrth and the Moon of Prince Charles. Today is the birthday of Gary Barlow, Tom Baker, Buzz Aldrin and Will Young and tomorrow is the birthday of Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) Billy Ocean, Placido Domingo, footballer Phil Neville and golfer Jack Nicklaus. All these people have significant new chapters starting in their lives. At the moment of New Moon the Moon is rising at Tulsa and at Kansas. The Moon culminates at Dakar. It is Sunrise at New Mexico, Saturn rises at Wellington and culminates at Lima, Jupiter rises at Khatmandu. Mars and Neptune are aligned to Perth Australia.

At the time of writing exit polls suggest a historic victory for the anti-austerity Syriza party in Greece's closely fought general election. It is unclear whether Syriza has enough votes to govern the country alone. Syriza's Alexis Tsipras has pledged to renegotiate Greece's debt arrangement with international creditors. He has also vowed to reverse many of the austerity measures adopted by Greece since a series of bailouts began in 2010. The result is being closely watched outside Greece, where it is believed a Syriza victory could encourage radical leftist parties across Europe. Transiting Uranus is exactly square the country's ascendant tomorrow and transiting Pluto is crossing the descendant of said chart this year. This is nothing short of revolution and drastic change. In the UK an MEP who has defected to the Conservatives had "reached the end of the road" with UKIP, party leader Nigel Farage has said. Amjad Bashir was suspended by UKIP over various allegations - all of which he denies - shortly before announcing his defection on Saturday. He quit after criticising UKIP's "ridiculous" lack of policies. Transiting Mars yesterday was opposite UKIP's natal Sun and tomorrow transiting Mars opposes Nigel Farage's ascendant and natal Pluto. The day after Venus is conjunct his Saturn. He has an astrologically challenging couple of days ahead. On Feb 17th Uranus is conjunct his natal Sun. In February UKIP has the now tightening Uranus Pluto square focused in its natal Mars at 14 degrees Libra. The oncoming Total Lunar Eclipse on April 4th is almost on this point. UKIP has a crisis on its hands. Farage I am pretty certain will secure a seat in the House of Commons in the UK General Election in May. A large asteroid is about to fly past Earth. On the night of Jan. 26-27, mountain-sized space rock 2004 BL86 will be only 3 times farther from us than the Moon. There's no danger of a collision, but the flyby will be easy to observe. Sunlight reflected from the surface of 2004 BL86 will make it glow like a 9th magnitude star. Amateur astronomers with even small backyard telescopes will be able to see it zipping among the stars of the constellation Cancer. Observers in the Americas, Europe, and Africa have the best seats for seeing this interloper during its brightest time: from 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Monday evening, January 26th, until about 1 a.m. EST on the 27th. During this time 2004 BL86 will be heading northward through the dim constellation Cancer. It skims the eastern edge of a star cluster called the Beehive (or Messier 44) from about midnight to 12:30 a.m. EST.

The IS natal chart (Oct 15th 2006) has transiting Uranus opposing natal Venus this year which may well shatter the fund raising capability, and opposes natal Mars and natal Sun next year and 2017 which shatters the heart of the organisation. Transiting Neptune is conjunct natal IS Uranus also next year. Can't see it surviving that barrage of astrological forces.

Fighting intensified in eastern Ukraine yesterday as government forces and pro-Russian rebels tried to make gains ahead of possible peace talks today. Much of what is happening in the world right now can be corresponded to the tightening but final Uranus square Pluto aspect which peaks on March 17th. It is Neptune in the Ukraine chart which is being targeted by this destructive aspect. Today Mercury stations at 1 degree Aquarius right over Saturn in the Ukraine chart. This is a serious moment in time for the country. Blessed are the peace makers. It doesn't look too promising though. Uranus is currently opposite Putin's natal Sun and Pluto is square the USA Saturn. Take a minute to check out the Transits page of this site. You will find daily planetary transits listed there for Russia and the USA, the UK, Vladimir Putin, Islamic Sate, Ed Milliband, Hilary Clinton, Angela Merkel, Barack Obama and David Cameron. Venus continues to close on Mars in Pisces. This is an astrological phenomenon of a more personal nature. This is the 'slow dawn' of a new love. This one is deep and endless, being in Pisces, and approaching a point of ignition (on Feb 21st) when they both storm, in union, arm in arm, bride and groom, into Aries. This one is worth getting excited about. An astrologically vibrant day. Today Mars is biquintile Jupiter 00:39 (himself opposite the Venus/Pluto midpoint).

Egypt has called on the international community to intervene against Islamic State (IS) militants in Libya. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said that what was happening in Libya was a threat to world peace and security. His remarks came as Egyptian jets bombed IS targets in response to a militant video of the apparent beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians. Libya has been in chaos since 2011, with militias battling for control of territory and two rival governments. Libyan progressed Mercury has been in a conjunction with progressed Uranus natal Mercury and natal Jupiter during that time. Transiting Uranus opposes the Egyptian natal Moon before the end of this month. The Total Lunar Eclipse on April 4th also hits the Egyptian Moon. The well being and support system of the country is seriously agitated at this time. The Total Solar Eclipse in 4 weeks time sets off the Venus Saturn opposition in the chart. I have never had recourse to examine the astrological chart for Denmark, nothing ever seems to happen there. The chart is set for the day of the foundation of the liberal constitution with its constitutional monarchy and parliamentary government on June 5th 1840.

Venus has almost caught up with Mars. Less than 2 degrees now separate them. It has been underway all year and it has been a deliberate chase. It has, since Jan 27th, been in Pisces, an environment where Venus has been the stronger. Now we are approaching a climax of sorts. Firstly the New Moon occurs today, shortly before midnight (GMT) on the very boundary between Aquarius and Pisces. Then on Friday, Mars enters Aries early on. Venus and the infant Moon follow suit. The Moon, Venus and Mars form a tight conjunction around midnight (GMT) Friday night to Saturday morning. Mars is now on top, ruling Aries and overpowering Venus and the young Moon. The two, Venus and Mars are finally conjunct on Sunday at 05:14 GMT at 2 degrees Aries. Astrologically this is a very dynamic few days. Fasten your seat belts and grab your psychic surf board.

MOON, VENUS AND MARS: When the sun goes down tonight, step outside and face west. Venus is beaming through the twilight, so bright that it is often mistaken for a landing plane. Wait a while as the sky grows darker. Fainter Mars pops out right beside Venus. At closest approach on Feb. 21st, they will be only 0.4 degrees apart, less than the width of a full Moon.

Venus, Mars are now approaching Uranus in Aries and tightening, all trine Jupiter, and square Pluto. Venus aligns to Uranus on Wednesday, Mars is conjunct Mars on March 11th. That is all ahead of us. The news item which is really current concerns Russian President Vladimir Putin who has said he will do everything possible to bring to justice those who committed the "vile and cynical" murder of opposition politician Boris Nemtsov. In a telegram to Mr Nemtsov's mother, published on the Kremlin website, Mr Putin offered condolences and praised Mr Nemtsov's openness and honesty. Mr Nemtsov was shot four times in the back on a bridge near the Kremlin. Western leaders demanded a transparent investigation into the killing. Transparency will not be on the agenda with transiting Pluto currently conjunct Russian (1991 chart) Neptune and transiting Uranus square it. Uranus is still opposing Putin's natal Sun, which explains his 'steely erratic' behavior. He certainly has a hell of a lot in store over the next 3 years. Uranus goes on to oppose his Saturn Neptune and natal Mercury as Pluto opposes his natal Uranus and goes on to square his Libran planets. It will most likely break his life plan, what ever that is. The Solar Eclipse in 20 days time is slap bang on the Russian descendant which brings Russian foreign relationships to a head. Heads will roll. Today the Moon slowly waxes and decelerates void of course in Cancer. The heart rules the head.

Mercury is a direct morning star in Aquarius. Mercury is back up to full speed after recent retrograde motion, and he enters new territory on March 4th. Mercury enters Pisces on March 13th. Mercury next turns retrograde on May 19th. Venus is in Aries increasing in evening star brilliance as the weeks go by. Venus opposes the lunar node today, and is conjunct Uranus on March 4th and square to Pluto on March 5th. Venus enters Taurus on March 17th. Mars is also in Aries. Mars opposes the lunar node tomorrow. On March 11th Mars is conjunct Uranus and square Pluto. Mars enters Taurus on March 31st. Jupiter is retrograding in Leo. Jupiter trines Uranus tomorrow and on June 22nd 2015. He squares Saturn on Aug 3rd 2015. Jupiter enters Virgo on August 11th 2015. Saturn is now in Sagittarius. He resides there until December 19, 2017. Saturn retrogrades back to Scorpio from June 14th, to September 17th, 2015, when he will finally leave Scorpio for good. Saturn was last in Sagittarius from November 1985 until November 1988. In Sagittarius Saturn tests the boundaries, brings changes in governments, in laws and in perspectives. As Saturn transits Sagittarius he will square Neptune three times Nov 26th 2015,June 18th 2016 Sept 10th 2016. This is deadly and delusional. Saturn trines Uranus Dec 25th 2016, May 19th 2017 and Nov 11th 2017, which is constructively inventive. Saturn is squared by Jupiter in Virgo during this period on Aug 3rd 2015, March 23rd 2016 and May 26th 2016. That's a pretty brittle vibration. Later on in the residence Jupiter sextiles Saturn in Sagittarius from Libra. The 6th member of 3 year long series of 7 first quarter square aspects between Uranus and Pluto occurred December 15th 2014. The 7th, the final blast is on March 17th 2015. We are still in the pain of this brute of an aspect but it will soon be history. After today there are 18 days to a Total Eclipse of the Sun at 29 degrees Pisces on March 20th 2015, and 33 days to a Total Eclipse of the Moon at 14 degrees Libra on April 4th 2015.

Yesterday Iraqi government forces said they had retaken some districts around Tikrit in their fight to recapture the city from Islamic State (IS). A force of about 30,000 troops and militia are said to be attacking on different fronts, backed by air strikes from Iraqi jets. A commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards is taking part in the operation. It appears that inadvertently IS is serving to unify most of the arab world. A sound Jupiter Uranus manifestation. It is pertinent that the United States and several Arab partners begin their airstrike campaign against IS in Syria at the time of the Jupiter Uranus trine in September 2014.

The waxing 'fire trine' aspect represents a free and easy flow of creative, exploratory, risk taking energy. Their opposition is in 2016 and 2017 and their next conjunction is in 2024 and in Taurus.

Today's Full Moon is the 5th following the Total Lunar Eclipse on October 8th 2014 and the ultimate Full Moon before the Total Lunar Eclipse on April 4th 2015. (That eclipse will be the 3rd in the sequence of 4 'Tetrad of Blood Moons' currently manifest). We are now in the full fury of an eclipse season. We are approaching a Total Solar Eclipse in 15 days time. Change is in the air. Today's Full Moon is trine Pluto and occurs as Jupiter trines Uranus and Uranus squares Pluto. Venus is conjunct Uranus and square Pluto. Change is certainly part and parcel of the time, and today's lunation hold the potential for a positive regeneration of energies. Psychic whirlpools will arise and there will be the usual tenseness associated with the Full Moon in Virgo but overall this is potentially a 'good' lunation. Today's Full Moon directly hits the Uranus Pluto conjunction of the President Assad of Syria generation. Assad's Saturn is opposed and his Mars is sextiled. The Saturn of Benjamin Netanyahu is hit, as are Brazil's Sun, Ed Milliband's south node and Mick Jagger's Venus. The Full Moon squares Australia's Uranus and trines George Clooney's Sun. Today is the birthday of Elaine Page, Matt Lucas and Eva Mendes. These last two are 'time twins' and were born 41 years ago today. These people have a climatic year ahead. At the moment of Full Moon the Moon rises at Madrid and over south west England and sets over North Island NZ. Neptune and Uranus form a paran at Cairo. Pluto sets at Washington DC. Shortly after the climaxing Full Moon the Moon trines Pluto becoming void at 18:38

Future astrological historians will correlate the Full Moon in Virgo in early March 2015 with the battle for Tikrit. On 1 March about 27,000 Iraqi troops commenced their attack on Tikrit, a city 150km (93 miles) north of Baghdad that has been occupied by Islamic State (IS) since June 2014. The current assault is the first attempt to evict IS from a major urban centre that they have controlled and fortified, a test case for the planned operation to retake Mosul - the Iraqi capital of the IS caliphate. Today the Sun sextiles Pluto 00:20

The waning 'hung over' Full Moon is void of course in Virgo all day.

The 'Battle for Tikrit' continues into its 7th day. It has caused about 28,000 people to flee their homes. Meanwhile archaeologists and officials have expressed outrage about the reported bulldozing of the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud in Iraq by Islamic State (IS) militants. The IS astrological chart (Oct 15th 2006) is not showing up any major trauma just at the moment. Transiting Mercury is currently energizing the IS fixed T-square (Saturn, Neptune, Mercury, and Jupiter), but this is an annual event and probably just generates communication issues. However in May 2015 Uranus opposes IS Venus for the first time which may coincide with a rupture in the finances of the organisation, followed in 2016 with Uranus opposite IS Sun. That really does hold a significant change for the IS story. The Total Lunar Eclipse on April 4th is close to that IS Venus and the Solar Eclipse in October is close to the natal IS Sun. At the moment of maximum Total Solar Eclipse on March 20th 2015 Saturn is shortly to rise at Tikrit and Jupiter is due west. This really 'stars' the city. Could this be interpreted as both liberation (Jupiter 'westering' in Leo) and 'reduction to ashes' (Saturn rising in Sagittarius) for the city? We shall see. Today the slowly waning and decelerating 'hung over' Full Moon enters Libra 00:53, and over the next 30 hours will oppose the triple conjunction of Venus, Mars and Uranus in Aries. Challenging relationship issues may arise. Mars opposition the lunar node 00:55 The Moon sextiles Saturn 10:47

We are moving deeper into the eclipse season. The Total Solar Eclipse is only 11 days away. Armies are on the move. The battle for Tikrit continues. Niger and Chad yesterday launched an offensive against Nigeria's Boko Haram militants, as officials dismissed the group's pledge to join with IS as a sign of weakness. The Solar Eclipse on March 20th directly hits the Midheaven of Nigeria's astrological chart. The US space agency's Dawn probe has gone into orbit around Ceres, the largest object in the Solar System between Mars and Jupiter. A signal from the satellite confirming its status was received by ground stations on March 6th 2015 at 13:36 GMT. Ceres was conjunct the Saturn/Neptune midpoint that day.
